Review: Gato Roboto

What do you want to accomplish when you're creating a game? Do you want to make a splash, create something that moves a genre (or the industry) forward, and is full of innovation? Or would you rather take an existing formula, put a personal touch on it, and just do it really really well?

Review: Project Nimbus: Complete Edition

World War 3, a yet-to-exist event many a video game has been centered around, has ended. The surface of Earth has been destroyed, and people now reside in giant flying cities in the sky. And so begins the backdrop for Project Nimbus: Complete Edition...

Review: World End Syndrome

I really shouldn't like visual novels. I have no idea why I do, looking back at many that I consider my favorites. For as much weight as I put on quality storytelling, the VNs I remember fondly don't seem like they would hold up.

Review: Rise of Industry

All right, let me first say that I am not the biggest simulation fan. I usually play video games to… erm, escape… from reality. However I have enjoyed some sims over the years, such as the Civilization franchise, Maxis' line of Sim games like Sim City, Sim Ant and Sim Farm, along with others of their era like Roller Coaster Tycoon, Theme Park and Transport Tycoon.

Review: VA-11 Hall-A [Switch]

Ah, the common trope of the humble bartender. Always there to listen to the woes to whoever strolls in and needs to throw back a drink of their choosing. It's not uncommon for this trope to rear its head in storytelling in general, and for said individual to be the stalwart rock that dispenses useful advice to the protagonist and supporting characters.

Review: Tapsonic Bold

I, like many others, have never been much into playing mobile games. Trying to play a game on my phone's screen through disappointing speakers, while using touch controls that block said screen just through the use of them, has never appealed to me.

Review: Mechstermination Force

A Welcome Challenge Coming from publisher/developer Hörberg Productions we have Mechstermination Force, an action-platformer boss-rush title where the bosses are also the action-platforming sections of the game. It’s a lot of Contra mixed with Shadow of the Colossus. Fans of titles in a similar vein such as Furi, Cuphead, and to some extent Horizon Zero

Review: Katana Zero

The talk of the town in the gaming community recently is difficulty. Should games offer different difficulty levels to appease less-skilled or less-abled players? Would doing so compromise a developer's "vision?" Do games have to be hard to be fun?

Review: Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash

The "fan disc" is a relatively common thing when it comes to visual novels. After pouring hours of life into reading through a story, some people will surely come to care for the characters therein and want to spend more time with them.

Review: Nelke & the Legendary Alchemists: Ateliers of the New World

Boy, how time flies. The gaming industry has seen its fair share of IPs that have withstood the test of time with varying amounts of entries. Sure, you might think of the usual suspects in the ring such as Mario, Street Fighter, Sonic, and so on.

Review: Fate/Extella Link

As we grow as human beings, our tastes change. It's an inevitable fact of life. Like, you suddenly start enjoying slow-paced ambient music despite being a metalhead through most of your youth, or you decide that mushrooms are in face the perfect pizza topping even though you hated them growing up.

Review: The Caligula Effect: Overdose

A couple of years ago, Atlus published an ambitions little title for the Vita known as The Caligula Effect. Many compared it spiritually to the Persona series, which is no surprise, since the writer that penned the game's narrative, Tadashi Satomi, was also the mind behind the first two Persona games.

Review: Dead or Alive 6

The Dead or Alive franchise of fighting games is a series that markets itself on two things: fast and aggressive fighting and a splash of sex appeal. Apparently, pitting sexy well-endowed women and buff chiseled men against each other in brutal fisticuffs is a winning formula.
